Biography
Maria de Luxembourg was born in 1304, the daughter of Emperor Henry VII of Germany and Margaret of Brabant. She was originally betrothed to the son of Rudolf I of Bavaria Louis, but Louis died in 1311; on 21 September 1322, she married King Charles IV of France. Both of her children, Philip and Joan, died while they were young. In March 1324, she fell out the bottom of the royal coach while traveling to Avignon to visit the Pope, and her son was born prematurely as a result, killing her and the son. The House of Capet died with Charles, and the House of Valois would rule France next.
